24-15=9 m/s slower in 12 seconds. So 9/12 m/s² slower. Therefore the acceleration is -0,75 m/s²

A car slows down uniformly from a speed of 30.0 m/s to rest in 7.20 s
Ede4ka [16]

When acceleration is constant, the average velocity is given by

\bar v=\dfrac{v+v_0}2

where v and v_0 are the final and initial velocities, respectively. By definition, we also have that the average velocity is given by

\bar v=\dfrac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}=\dfrac{x-x_0}{t-t_0}

where x,x_0 are the final/initial displacements, and t,t_0 are the final/initial times, respectively.

Take the car's starting position to be at t_0=0\,\mathrm s. Then

\dfrac{v+v_0}2=\dfrac{x-x_0}t\implies x=x_0+\dfrac12(v+v_0)t

So we have

x=0\,\mathrm m+\dfrac12\left(0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}+30.0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)(7.20\,\mathrm s)=108\,\mathrm m

You also could have first found the acceleration using the equation

v=v_0+at

then solve for x via

x=x_0+v_0t+\dfrac12at^2

but that would have involved a bit more work, and it turns out we didn't need to know the precise value of a anyway.

One of the checks that you could do for problem 1) would be to check the output resistance of the Wheatstone bridge to make sure
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the four resistances of th wheat stone bridge is

P, Q, R and S and the value of each is 350 ohm.

Here, P and Q are in series.

R' = P + Q = 350 + 350 = 700 ohm

Then R and S are in series

R' = R + S = 350 + 350 = 700 ohm

Now R' and R'' are in parallel.

So, the equivalent resistance is

Req = R' x R'' / ( R' + R'')

Req = 700 / 2 = 350 ohm

Thus, the reading of ohmmeter is 350 ohm.
